\n" ); document.write( "Z=sqrt((1000^2)+(1592^2))
\n" ); document.write( "It is my understanding that the square root of a \"number\" squared is the \"number\".
\n" ); document.write( "If this is true I would solve this as: Z=1000+1592 so Z=2592, but Im not sure this is correct

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Z=sqrt((1000^2)+(1592^2))
\n" ); document.write( "No, if there were a * (multiply) between them it would be 1000*1592
\n" ); document.write( "but if there's a plus or a minus you have to do the math inside the radical
\n" ); document.write( "then find the square root of that
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can prove this to yourself with a calc: Enter \"sqrt%281000%5E2%2B1592%5E2%29\" = 1880...
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
